I am a cp newbie and got my first Nepenthes several weeks ago (Nepenthes ventricosa).
I've put it on a windowsill that gets morning to early afternoon sun. I'm in sunny San Jose, California, and am wondering if it's getting too much sun or heat. Firstly, one of the pitchers got what I can only describe as a burn mark (see bottom of pitcher in photo). Also, the pitchers use to be nice and 'smooth.' Now they veins on a couple of the larger pitchers are starting to come up (like vericose veins). I'm a little concerned that this is an indication that it's too dry.
It may have happened while I was away last week and it didn't get enough water...
Any advice or inputs?
thanks,
Warren
